Part of what I faxed Dave as for this month's Please Hold, was this:
And have you seen this:
(Unfortunately, I can’t get it big enough to read. I’ll try to get a better copy if you haven’t seen it.)
(It's okay, he stole it from the eBay...)
Anyway, Dave asked me if I could find a better version of the article, which I did:
Anyway, I sent a copy of all this to Dave, and then to Eddie, because I send all the Strange Death of Alex Raymond related stuff I come across to Eddie.
And he's pretty sure he had sent the article to Dave years ago. And sent me a real nice copy from the Lebanon Daily News from Feb 9th, 1950.
Okay, Moment!

Hello all, random question: I found a 2017 post for collected letters digital volumes, but the stores are gone. Does anyone know how I can get those extra volumes? I already have the printed Collected letters 2004 and volume 2.
Thanks for any help,
JV
This article is priceless, "Manly." Thanks!
Tony,
No it isn't.
Click the eBay link. $94.50, and it's yours.

Cleaner images of a couple of the pics from the article and some not in the article are included in the introduction to IDW's RIP KIRBY Vol 3. by Brian Walker, which also discusses the working method for RIP KIRBY (e.g. "At these meetings, which usually took place at 10 AM on Tuesdays, Raymond, Greene, and comics editor Sylvan Byck would plot storylines and write dialogue for the strip. This process was described in a promotional booklet, "On Location with Rip Kirby," that was produced by the syndicate in 1949")

Dang. My local sci-fi/comic book store has most of these (Rip Kirby collections) in stock; I guess I better get them. Thanks, Eddie!
